Patty, sorry your appointment didnt go better. It cant hurt to get scoped. It only takes a few minutes to do. My ENT does it every few visits unless I am having a problem then its weekly (eewww!). I see my ENT about every 3-6 weeks depending on what else is going on with my recovery.

As far as the CT or PET scans go, I get mine ordered by my medical oncologist. I now only do CT scans every 6 months. My medical oncologist said insurance companies dont like to pay for the PET scans since they are several times the cost of a CT scan. Im not complaining about doing CTs, I hate the false positives a PET scan has. If the CT would show an abnormality then Im sure a PET would be ordered. Did you get an oncologist at your new location?

To be honest, if it were me, I would get another ENT. I wouldnt be comfortable with this person. Sounds like thats your thought process too since you are posting questions about your appointment. You are smart and know that something wasnt quite right with their checkup procedures.

Good luck and good health to you
